This has been the rainiest June that I can remember. I’m longing for a bit of sunshine. Thus, here is my choice for Poetry Friday this week. It’s a children’s poem by Frank Asch.
Sunflakes

Sunflakes
by Frank Asch
If sunlight fell like snowflakes,
gleaming yellow and so bright,
we could build a sunman,
we could have a sunball fight,
we could watch the sunflakes
drifting in the sky.
You can read the rest of the poem here.

At Wild Rose Reader, I have a review of Incredible Inventions, another great poetry anthology compiled by Lee Bennett Hopkins.

This one cheered me right up. We've had a lot of rain, too.
ReplyDeleteI'm sending you a small square of bright blue Colorado sky -- that piece right over there above the still snowcapped mountains. I'll include a whiff of clean mountain air, spiced with pine and sagebrush.
ReplyDeleteJama,
ReplyDeleteIt's really been a pretty miserable month--not quite your typical June in Massachusetts.
Mary Lee,
Thanks. Wish I could be there!
Beautifully written!
ReplyDeleteThis spring/summer feels like that to me, too-- I'm glad to know it's not just my imagination! And it's grey and rainy today and guess what's predicted for tomorrow? RAIN! ENOUGH ALREADY.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, thanks for the sunshine poem. I wish I could turn my whole apartment into a big bright yellow tent.
Fun! Love the sunmobile (though the idea of sunflakes makes me think of dandruff).
ReplyDeleteWe're having a drought here in Minnesota, so I wish some of your rain could come this way.
Hey, All--
ReplyDeleteIt's now Tuesday--and it's STILL RAINING!!! I don't think we've had seven days of sun yet this month.
